FITTEU FOR THE WORK.
The people of Sherman county
are making a commendable effort
towards secoring relief from exces
sive railroad charges. Imitating tlie
example set by The Dalles business
men when they instituted the Regu
lator line of steamers between this
Sherman county have evolved a
plan for operating steamers on the
upper Columbia in connection with
a. portage railway around the Celilo
rapids. A committee representing
the promoters of the. new enterprise
lias visited Pendleton, Walla Walla
and other cities with a view of elicit
ing luveresb 111 tut: jjrujeui. ; j.u is
too soon for the results of this mis-
. sion to be determined- .
Self help is , the only kind that
amounts to anything. The Dalles
would yet be in the toils of a single
railway corporation had it depended
for 'extrication upon any outside as .
sistance. Sherman county has done
wisely in taking the initiative tow
ards working put its own salvation.
. Better means of transportation
from . the ' country east of The
Dalles to the sea must in some way
"be secured. The margin of profit,
if there' is any, in wheat raisin? is
so small that it will not bear the ex
cessive freight charges that have
existed in the past.
llf the plan already 'spoken of is
urged to completion, it will proba
bly be' found necessary to ask the
state for aid in some manner or
other.
In this connection we wish to call
the attention -of the people of Sher-
man county, to the necessity of hav
i ing in ,lhe legislature representatives
' who are fully alive to the necessities
of the occasion.
For fourteen years John Michell,
while editor of the .Times Mount
aineer, was an uncompromising
friend and; advocate f,or an open
river. His pen was never idle in
setting forth ' the' needs of. better
transportation facilities and opposing
the greed of raLway monopoly The
same interest which Mr.-., Michell
'evinced for the people . of Wasco
county in this regard he can be
, - " ""-"V
' should be be chosen to a seat in the
' etatesenate. . ,
. - From 1885 'and in the remaining
years in which The Dalles Board of
Trade was a realitv. B. S. Huntine-
ton acted, as its secretary. During
that-time he made a close and care
fui'A study of the needs of Eastern
Oregon regarding" this . important
question, and no one has a more in
telligent knowledge of ' the situation.
We believe ' there ' was not a waters
way convention, held '.at.', which Mr.
Huntington was not present as a del
egate and took an active part in the
proceedings. "
Both Mr.' Huntington and, Mr.
Michell -have been to ' the front in
, the fight for an open river, and in
securing the legislaton that in all
probability will be asked , f of , . these
two gentlemen will be leaders, in
the movement. They ; are peculiarly
fitted for the task, and : with the as
sistance of their worthy associates,
Mr." Moore and Mr. Jones, will
achieve . much for 'an , imprisoned
people. w '. '.V . ;'
The Willamette valley is the gar
den spot It has been pictured, but
when it comes to raising fruit it will
have to give way to the bunchgrass
hills and fertile lowlands of Eastern
Oregon.- The crop reports indicate
that great damage has been done to
the fruit crop west of the Cascades,
while east of the mountains the pros
pect is very cheering. Nature has
endowed this section with an incom
parable climate, and with its produc
tive soil the country on the eastern
slopes of the Cascades should fur
nish happy homes for thousands who
leave the East because of its extremes'
of heat and cold.
California will be. the next state
to declare for McKinley. The gen
tlemen who have been rehearsing
nominating speeches for Reed, Alii
son et al will probablji conclude to
lay their . manuscripts on . the shelf
fpr four years more.
HOT SHOT.
Goldendale Sentinel: If the Orepro
nian really desires the election of Mr.
Northup, it should nee its influence, if
it has any, in showing up the dirty work
in connection with the Cascade locks.
No vote in Eastern Oregon should go for
the Oregonian candidate unless Portland
people enow more interest in the Inland
Empire's future welfare. ,
CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How tbe Fourteenth Century Mansions
. . - .Were Furnished.
Carpets in the fourteenth century were
unknown luxuries, says Good Words,
but the fashion of strewing1 the apart
ments with rushes was being gradually
abandoned. KusJies were still used in
the retainers' hall, but,for the better
rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant
twigs were usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
were 'apertures filled with glass so as
to admit light, but to exclude wind. The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents of
air that penetrated the strong but bad
ly built, walls. We learn from various
ancient. documents that it was the duty
of the serving men and pages to sweep
out the principal apartments, but as the
use of water is rarely mentioned, damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust, but also toward refreshing the at
mosphere in such costantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From - old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scant
ily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although thej- seem to have been
abundantly supplied with flagons and
drinking cups in gold,-silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number, of black jacks or cups made o
leather.. ' . - .

Blakeley Sc Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a epTended medicine it is:
'"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's, use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. lean
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to tbe lungs. ' ' ,
